5 Best No. 9 Entries in the Royal Rumble Match

#1 Hornswoggle (2008) - Never Eliminated - 1 Elimination

Hornswoggle and Finley leaving the Royal Rumble in 2008

The number 9 entry to the Royal Rumble was the meddlesome Hornswoggle. The diminutive wrestler, and Fit Finley's friend, qualified for the Royal Rumble following a tag team victory with Mick Foley against the Highlanders on the January 7th episode of Monday Night Raw. Hornswoggle would eliminate the Miz from the Rumble but would spend most of the match hiding under the ring.

The dream would come to an end after Hornswoggle re-emerged from below the ring to try and eliminate a teetering Cody Rhodes only to be grabbed by Mark Henry and pulled into the ring. Hornswoggle then found himself pinned between Mark Henry and Big Daddy V. Luckily for 'Swoggle, Fit Finley came to the ring and helped him escape with the use of his shillelagh.

While Finley was disqualified from the Royal Rumble for coming out before his number, Hornswoggle never went over the top rope and was therefore never technically eliminated from the 2008 Royal Rumble.
